Dreadbox Raindrops Stereo Delay Pitch and Reverb Pedal Overview
The Dreadbox Raindrops is an impressive hybrid stereo pedal that combines the functionalities of a delay, pitch shifter, and reverb, enabling users to explore a wide range of sonic possibilities. Whether you’re looking for simple echoes, pitch-shifted sounds, gritty lo-fi delays, or lush reverbs, the Raindrops pedal delivers.
Utilizing a hybrid circuit with multiple delay stages and different chips, the Raindrops offers three distinct modes: modulated delay, pitch shifter delay, and lush reverb. Each mode provides a unique sound character and offers versatility in sound design.
The pedal allows for adjustable delay times ranging from 50ms to 1 second, and it incorporates a convenient Tap Tempo feature for precise timing control.

Designed with true stereo inputs and outputs, the Dreadbox Raindrops is particularly well-suited for use with synthesizers, ensuring a spacious and immersive sound experience. Additionally, the pedal provides the capability to save presets for each algorithm, allowing users to recall their preferred settings effortlessly.
